This looks to be a well put together group, I hope I can share as well as receive help and info. I have a couple of projects that have been on the shelf for quite some time, I think quality discussion on the subject might be the inspiration I need. A little about myself. I am 55 yrs old and have been in the tool and die trade for 35 yrs. I have made some of my tools used in my building which has been pretty limited but so for what Iv'e done has turned out pretty well. At the present time I have a 1990 50th anniversary Strat. that I picked up in a pawn shop in beat to death condition that is in under construction status and I also have a from scratch project that is a collection of wood and a Warmoth neck. I have a few questions concerning building pickups and such I will save for later.Thanks again for having me, David
